    According to the GIEC (IPCC) report if nothing changes, and nothing is changing as you remarkably said, the fall of our society will start in 2040 because of food shortages due to the climate.

    2000 fucking 40! It’s tomorrow. I am destroyed by this future and really don’t understand corporate and/or politicians.

    I still have friends making babies and not think that their life will be miserable in less than 20 years.

      I feel you. I want children but agreed with myself long ago that they will be adopted because I don’t want to bring children onto this dying planet.

      My country (the Netherlands) is going to be majorly flooded within the next 100 years (but probably sooner) but the majority of buildings built to stop the housing crisis are still build under sea level in the major cities.

      People think they’re not climate change deniers but 95% of them most definitely are.

        I think that’s the one yes. Decreased food yield from 2040 to 2099 onwards.

        Also, even if I’m not into that, an old fart like Nostradamus or something like that (I don’t remember his name) wrote at the time that humanity will be greatly reduced around the first part of the 21th century. And now scientific studies more or less agree with that.

        I have hope that humanity will change, I have zero hope that the ones who can do things (industries, huge corporations, rich peoples, politicians) will do something.

        Apparently it’s better to die seated on unused billions rather than having a living world for your kids.
